“People say going out in a match that ‘we’re prepared to die to win this game’ but that’s a dangerous thing to say. You should never say you’re prepared to die to win. You should always be prepared to kill to win a game. That’s the difference.” – At a talk in UCD in January 2015.

"They were handed an opportunity which was a completely wrong decision. We didn't speak about it the last day but it was criminal. People can say that I am whingeing and moaning all they like, but I am telling the truth. You don't hand a team a free puck and say, 'Lads, there you go, win the game'. It was like that." – speaking after the 2014 All-Ireland final replay win over Tipperary about referee Barry Kelly’s decision to award Tipp a late free in the drawn game.
